Question

Reference number: 484565 | Zakat and Charity | April 8, 2024

I have two checks; one of them is dated in 2025; the other is dated in 2026. I have had them for a year. Shall I pay the zakat on them in 2025, and 2026 respectively if I do not have enough cash, or this year?

Answer

Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.

If the checks which you have are commercial and they will be paid on time, the zakat must be paid on them annually, not in 2025 or 2026. If they are not commercial. The zakat can be paid only when you get the cash money and for one time only.
